Acne - What is it?

Acne can be anything from blemishes, blackhead, whiteheads and more. A simple reaction to the sudden appearance of an acne on your face is to reach out and pop it. Don't do it! Lest you spread the bacteria around and contaminate the rest of your face and body. If for some reason, you must pop it, make sure to wash your hands clean and have at your disposal some cotton swab with a liquid disinfectant such as dettol and a good anti-bacterial soap to wash your face and the infected area afterwards.

The best way to treat acne is to develop the habit of carefully keeping the affected area clean and bacteria free at all time. Using the anti-bacterial soap, you can proceed to wash your face two to three times a day until you see an improvement. To not try and cover the acne area with makeup! If you do have some makeup on, don't forget to remove it before going to bed and carefully wash your face to remove any excess makeup products. Failure to do so will only result in the products clogging your skin and make acne condition worse.
